South America
Ride 2006/2007
January
28
Today wasn't much but hard riding. The first 400 miles
was the same ole desert I've been in for days. It was hot coming across
there. After that, I got into some nice farm land. The first time I've
seen anything like that. It is large scale farming just like you were
crossing Kansas, Iowa or any other flat farming country. It was a nice
change. I didn't get to take all the pictures I wanted, because it started
raining across that section.

I felt sorry for this couple. They were
getting fuel when I passed them. They passed me back, then had to stop
at the next station (100 miles) to get fuel again.

They have the strangest vehicles in South
America.It is a Citroen 2CV. They were made in France and were common
there in the 1950's and 60's (info furnished by Geoff Adams
The town I'm staying in is just like a
rural town in Kansas
